Mark was great at communicating with us and reached out several times. However I think cleanliness is a slight issue. The bathroom did not appear to be cleaned. The bathroom trash was full, the toilet seat was a bit dirty and the shower curtain needed to be washed as well. There was also hair on the pillows and sheets of one of the main bedrooms. We still were able to enjoy our stay under these circumstances but it could use improvement! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/80dfec4b-dac4-463d-ba6b-a5d3c28f294e-1748884349603.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Jessica L.
